Well, That's a Bummer

I just found out that an innovative new show that I really, really enjoyed wasn't picked up for ABC's fall schedule.

Steve, Ty, and I may have been the only ones watching Sons and Daughters on Tuesday nights, but we really enjoyed it. I think it was too different from all the other shows out there, and that's why it didn't get a fair chance. God forbid someone in Hollywood do something that's actually creative¡ (Sorry, I'm a teensy bit bitter at the moment.)

It was partially improvised by a ridiculously talented cast, and remarkably well-acted to boot. The extended family the show centered around was hilariously flawed and dysfunctional, but also remarkably realistic. It was kind of painful to watch because they all had so many insecurities and issues, and a few of the characters were downright horrible, manipulative, passive-agressive, spiteful people--it sometimes made me squirm, but it always made me laugh. It was a veritable goldmine of funny, touching stories. And ABC ditched it.

Stupid ABC. I hope you're cursing yourself in September when the dreck that you chose to replace Sons and Daughters bombs. (Karma will make sure it bombs. Just ask Earl).
